Can sweet peas be grown in containers?

Our Advice:

Yes, sweet peas can be grown in containers, as long as the container is deep enough to accommodate the root system. Choose a container that is at least 12 inches deep and wide, with good drainage holes. Fill the container with a good quality potting soil and plant the seeds or seedlings as you would in the ground. Container-grown sweet peas may require more frequent watering and feeding than those grown in the ground.
